Overview
An exquisitely illustrated chronicle of Hannah Dale's year spent deeply immersed in rewilding her Lincolnshire farm.
An exquisitely illustrated celebration of wildlife, highlighting the importance of rewilding and returning to nature.
Hannah Dale, the artist behind the successful gift company Wrendale Designs, takes readers through a year on her farm in rural Lincolnshire, England, where she has undertaken an ambitious rewilding project. Together with her husband, she is attempting to return the land to nature and increase the number of species their land can support.
Embracing the beauty to be found in untidy landscapes has also provided Dale with new sources of inspiration for her paintings. A Wilding Year is both a journal and a sketchbook, in which Dale keeps a visual record of the fascinating species she finds on the farm. Until now, she has never published her sketchbooks, so fans of hers will see for the first time an insight into the way she works. Some of the beautifully illustrated species featured are brown hares, buzzards, short-eared owls, fox cubs, and kingfishers.
This fascinating account of a year in rural England brings to life the beauty and power of nature in every season.
